Editor’s Weekly Round-up:: kranking, breathing, recipes and more

[ 0 ] 03/18/2011 |

**Kranking, you ask? Well, first off, let me explain that when I first saw that word, I was immediately intrigued because “Krank” (pronounced kr-aw-nk) is my maiden name. Not overly common. And, get this. You use a Krankcycle. I’m dying here!! I must have a Krankcycle. Basically, you “pedal” the Krankcycle with your arms. A cardio workout, fueled by your arms alone.

**Our friends at Timex are hosting a sweet giveaway right now. You can win a $1,000 race training package including 2011 race fees (up to $620), the Timex Ironman Global Trainer GPS watch, and some additional apparel accessories. Click here to enter! (U.S. residents, only)

**I really have a hard time with breathing while exercising, especially with strength training. I never know when to breathe in or breath out and sometimes find myself holding my breath. This article helps explain breathing techniques to maximize your workout.

**Easy on the wallet, good for your body:: lemon garlic roasted asparagus.

**A cookie for breakfast? Check out Fitnessista’s vlog on how to make a {healthy} goody to start your day off right!

**I pretty much live for mushrooms, much to my husband’s dismay. I found this recipe on the Whole Living blog for Mushroom Soup with Quinoa that I plan on trying next week. Too bad no one else in my family is a mushroom-eater, because it looks delicious!

That’s all for today! Have a great weekend!
